Sunrise On Portland Island west coast painting Barry Tate
SUNRISE ON PORTLAND ISLAND
The west coast of Canada where I live can be breath taking! Unbelievable colors are especially eye catching in the early morning and at dusk. I live right on the water with a view directly east so we get sun and moon rises over the distant gulf islands of Saturna, Pender, Morisby and Potland Island. I've been literally stopped in my tracks on hundreds of occasions to stop and awe at the amazing colors of the sky and ocean.

This was painted from my sundeck! I live on a beautiful gulf island called Piers Island (near Sidney BC). This is looking directly east at Portland Island. The island also called Princess Margaret Island was given to the royal family many years ago. It was subsequently given back to the people of Canada and has become a wonderful marine wildlife reserve.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:
30" x 40" acrylic  on 3/4" clean-edge canvas.  ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.

Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well.  A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue -  dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like silver etc.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant.  Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
